About #
It’s late afternoon on Orange Island, and high school student Zhang Meixi is photographing the 32-metre-high granite statue of a rather bouffant Mao Zedong that gazes south down the Xiang River, which bisects Changsha, capital of Hunan province. Seated a few metres away, oblivious to the scenery and the proximity of the late Great Helmsman’s effigy, her grandfather taps a fusillade on his iPad, occasionally addressing it in a gruff monotone.
‘I wanted to ask him something about the old days, when he was growing up here in the 1960s, but once he starts playing with his tablet,’ shrugs Meixi, who likes to go by the name of Qitty.
Zhang Senior may be silent on the subject of Changsha’s most-voted-most-likely-to-succeed school teacher, but it’s one of the tenets of the city’s folklore: that roughly a century ago, Mao used to swim here and chew the political fat with his coevals while he was working at the Fourth Normal School. However, Changsha, which traces its history back 3,000 years to the Qin dynasty, is currently looking to the future, revving up for its own cultural revolution that’s taking shape all around the city.

The preening Poster Boy for the new Changsha is the US$275 million, russet-coloured Lucky Knot bridge, which opened last September. Rather than a straightforward 185-metre span, it twists and turns its way across the Dragon King Harbour River in Meixi district, granting pedestrians the choice of three different routes and a generous dollop of entertainment en route.
‘Changsha is growing and changing rapidly, and when we embarked on the initial design we wanted a unique gesture to inspire passersby,’ says Michel Schreinemachers, partner at Amsterdam-based Next Architects.
His colleague, Jiang Xiaofei, adds: ‘The Lucky Knot bridge is more than a connection between two river banks – it brings cultures together, it’s a fusion of history, technology, art, innovation, architecture and spectacle.’
